Tidbits - 23 May 2017

Media meltdown over President Trump. The ravening MSM types in most of the available platforms for propaganda are eagerly awaiting DT's return from overseas so that it can get on with the its basic objective - impeachment. Neither CNN nor MSNBC makes any effort in disguising their essential focus on impeachment. The level of their fascination with this now extends to their network news services own advertising. MSNBC now runs a staged ad in which a woman reporter is portrayed as chasing a congressman down a hallway while badgering him for "answers" to hypotheticals as to what he will do if Trump is "proven" to have obstructed justice. It is now evident (to me) that "obstruction of justice" will be the main thrust of the impeachment drive. Mueller's investigation of Comey's various statements, memos and the like now seems to be intended to elicit evidence of President Trumps supposed obstruction. Since he has a grand jury at his disposal and is conducting a criminal investigation (as opposed to the congressional counter-intelligence investigations) Mueller's investigation could easily result in an indictment of President Trump if that is legally possible with a sitting president. IMO that would trigger a resolution of impeachment in the House of Representative. DNI Dan Coats declined this morning before the US Senate to state whether or not Trump had tried to persuade him to help in shutting down the Russia collusion investigations. This is probably a preview of what others may say to Mueller under oath. This may well be the crack of doom for Trump.

The Mukhtar of America, Donald Trump has signed the US up to be a firm partisan of the Sunnis. This evidently extends to the Saudi led genocidal war being waged by the GCC with its army of mercenaries and US provided air material AND TARGETING. Zaidi Yemenis among the northern mountain tribes as well as in the major cities are being bombed pitilessly by the Royal Saudi Air Force evidently trying to put into practice The Douhet derived concept of bombing populations into surrender. The senior Saudi bird men in charge probably learned this doctrine at the US Air University at Montgomery, Alabama.

While visiting Israel/Palestine Mukhtar Trump once again stated his allegiance not only to the Israeli state but also doubled down on identification of the US as Iran's greatest enemy. Rouhani, in Teheran, has said in the last couple of days, that his government is waiting to see if Trump's Administration "matures." Good luck on that. For the meeting with Muhammad Abbas, the Trump cavalcade proceeded to Bethlehem by road. The distance is five or six miles. According to the Washington Post today "most of Trump's people "were surprised that the Jews and the Arabs lived so near each other. Mukhtar Trump has said that employing his legendary negotiating skills he will easily bring peace to the Palestinians and Israeli Jews. Good luck on that as well! His government is in the hands of people who know as little of the Middle East as he. The old timers, the hated "Arabists" are very nearly all gone from the US government, replaced by people who think that Political Science and International Relations studies are a better field of study than traditional area studies in language, history, philosophy, literature, ethnography, etc. Perhaps the mukhtar should stay on the scene to achieve peace.

The weekly cabinet meeting was held at the Western Wall tunnels, adjacent to the Western Wall, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the city’s unification in the Six Day War. At no point were the parliamentarians beneath the actual Temple Mount, known to Arabs as Haram al-Sharif.
